It should be particularly noted that the preferred embodiment of the mobile device 1 of the present invention includes four application modules 14-17, but the number of application modules included in the mobile device 1 is not four. Limited.

The stylus pen 19 includes a head 191, a body 192, a first button 193, a second button 194, a third button 195, a fourth button 196, and a touch signal generating unit 197. The pen tip 191 is disposed in the The front end of the pen body 192 is used to touch the touch screen 10. The touch signal generating unit 197 is disposed in the pen body 192 and electrically connected to the pen tip 191 and the buttons 193-196. The buttons 193-196 are disposed on the outer surface of the pen body 192, and one of the pressing buttons 193-196 can trigger the touch signal generating unit 197 to generate a touch signal corresponding to the pressed button. .

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, when the user operates the stylus 19, the pen 191 touches the touch screen 10, and after the pen 191 touches the touch screen 10, the keys 193-196 are When a single press is performed, the touch signal generating unit 197 generates a touch signal corresponding to the pressed button in a time interval, wherein the time interval corresponds to N time slots having the same time length and continuous time and N≧ 2, the touch signal includes M touch pulses and 2≦M≦N, and each touch pulse corresponds to one of the isochronous slots, and each time slot corresponds to at most one touch pulse. In addition, the data type of the touch signal is a binary sequence of length N, wherein if the i-th time slot corresponds to one of the touch pulses, the value of the i-th element of the binary sequence Is 1, otherwise 0.

For example, FIG. 3 illustrates a touch signal generated by a single press of the third button 195, wherein the time interval is 0.6 seconds and corresponds to six consecutive time slots of the same length, respectively, the time range is 0. First to first between 0.1 seconds, between 0.1 and 0.2 seconds, between 0.2 and 0.3 seconds, between 0.3 and 0.4 seconds, between 0.4 and 0.5 seconds, and between 0.5 and 0.6 seconds Second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth time slots, and the second and the fifth time slots respectively correspond to a touch pulse, and therefore, the touch signal The data type is 010010.

It should be particularly noted that the stylus pen 19 can be easily implemented by the prior art in the field of touch elements, and the technical details of its implementation are not described herein. In addition, it is obvious that the stylus pen 19 can have a function of generating the touch signal differently from the embodiment of the preferred embodiment. For example, the number of buttons of the stylus pen 19 is not limited to four.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, a preferred embodiment of the touch method 2 of the present invention is performed on the mobile device 1. The method 2 first performs step 21, when the touch interpreter module 13 is executed by the processing unit 18, the user operates the stylus 19 to cause the stylus pen 191 of the stylus pen 19 to touch the touch screen. 10.

Then, in step 22, the user triggers the touch on one of the buttons 193-196 of the stylus 19 after the pen tip 191 of the stylus pen 19 touches the touch screen 10 The control signal generating unit 197 generates a touch signal corresponding to the pressed button in a time interval, wherein the time interval corresponds to a plurality of time slots, the touch signal includes a plurality of touch pulses, and each touch pulse pair Should wait for one of the slots.

Finally, in step 23, the touch interpreter module 13 receives the touch signal through the touch application interface of the operating system 12, and interprets the touch signal to obtain an interpretation result, and then obtains an interpretation result, and then Perform a pair of corresponding operations that should interpret the results. In particular, the corresponding operation can have different implementations with different efficiencies.

For example, in the step 22, the time interval is 0.6 seconds, and corresponds to six time slots with a length of 0.1 seconds, the touch interpreter The module 13 interprets the touch signal according to a pre-built and displayed list of touch signal fields and a corresponding operation field, as shown in the first page of the next page, wherein the first and second buttons are respectively pressed. The third and fourth buttons 193~196 can respectively generate touch signals with data types of 110000, 111000, 010010 and 010011. As can be seen from the content of Table 1, when the touch signal is 110000, the touch interpreter module 13 obtains the interpretation result of “execution of the first application module” via the lookup table 1, and then the processing unit is The first application module 14 is executed by the first application module 14; and when the touch signal is 010010, the touch interpreter module 13 obtains the interpretation result of “execution of the third application module” via the lookup table one. The processing unit 18 is then executed to execute the third application module 16 and the like.

For another example, another embodiment of the corresponding operation may enable the touch interpreter module 13 to have the effect of an electronic signature. For example, in an event, the user needs to collect the signatures of the first, second, third, and fourth levels, the user carries the mobile device 1 to participate in the activity, and each level is reached when each level is reached. The keeper of the mobile device 1 generates a touch signal corresponding to each level by operating the stylus pen 19 of the mobile device 1. In another embodiment of the list in Table 2 on the previous page, the owner of the first level generates the touch signal 110000 by pressing the first button 193 of the stylus 19 a single time and the touch interpretation program The module 13 confirms the signature of the first level according to Table 2, and the second level of the second level of the stylus 19 is used to generate the touch signal 111000 and the touch interpretation program. The module 13 confirms the signature of the second level and the like according to Table 2.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that, in the preferred embodiment, the touch signal generated by the stylus 19 is such that each time slot corresponds to at most one touch pulse, but the implementation of the stylus 19 is not Limited to this. In another embodiment, the touch signal generated by the stylus pen 19 can make a time slot corresponding to multiple touch pulses. For example, referring to FIG. 5, the second time slot corresponds to two touch pulses and the corresponding data type is 101, and the data type corresponding to the touch signal is 01010010. Obviously, the data type corresponding to the touch signal generated by the other embodiment of the stylus pen 19 can also be The method is interpreted by the touch interpreter module 13.

In summary, the stylus-based touch method 2 and the mobile device 1 enable the user to operate the stylus 19 to touch the touch of the mobile device 1 by the stylus 19 The touch screen 10 generates the touch signal, and the setting of the touch interpreter module 13 can interpret the touch signal and perform corresponding operations according to the result of the interpretation, so that the present invention can be achieved. purpose.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the patent application scope and patent specification content of the present invention, All remain within the scope of the invention patent.
